Well the survey went well today. Yes there is a wet area by the starboard chainplate about 8-9 inches across and another oblong wet area starboard just in front of where the cabin top starts rising from the outside deck. The surveyor told me that these areas were not worth fixing as there are no structural implications. I will keep an eye on them, rebed the chainplates with 4200 and if they get worse will have them addressed.
The bottom and rudder are clean! No blisters. Very fair, recently expoxied and covered with VC-Offshore. Basically there is nothing wrong with the boat.
The one thing that bothers me is that the serial number is no longer visible. The boat had been painted at some point in the past and the hull number must have been covered over in paint prep. Anyone know of a red boat sold out of Seattle several years ago? It was registered with the Canadian Ship's Registry in February of 2004 with the name 'Legend'.
The engine inspection will happen tomorrow morning at 9am
